Box-like container with an interpenetrating structure and process for the realization thereof

Abstract

A box-like hollow body, particularly a container of various shapes and size, comprising at least an inner hollow body 3 and an outer hollow body 2, interpenetrating with each other so as to create an integral structure with particular characteristics of mechanical resistance and ornamental, and provided with a continuous inner surface without gaps and an outer surface patterned according to zones or sections.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A box-shaped hollow container comprising at least a first discrete outer hollow body, a second discrete intermediate hollow body interpenetrating with said first body and a third discrete inner hollow body interpenetrating with said first and second bodies to form an integral container structure, said integral container structure having a continuous inner surface without any gap and an external surface patterned in zones or sections comprising portions of said second intermediate hollow body and said third hollow body emerging through first openings in the first outer hollow body to form a substantially continuous variously decorated outer surface, said first openings being variously located along said outer hollow body and having various shapes and sizes, said second intermediate hollow body being formed along the inside of said first outer body and including an inner surface and an outer surface having raised portions in shapes, sizes and thicknesses corresponding to the shapes, sizes and thicknesses of certain of said first openings, said raised portions being formed within said certain first openings and peripherally exactly and intimately matching the edges of said certain openings, said third inner hollow body being formed along the inside of said second intermediate hollow body and including a continuous inner surface and an outer surface having raised portions in shapes, sizes and thicknesses corresponding to second openings in said second intermediate hollow body and remaining openings of said first openings in said first outer hollow body, said raised portions of said third inner hollow body being formed within said second openings and remaining openings of said first body and peripherally and exactly matching the edges of said remaining openings whereby a smooth continuous outer surface is formed along said container structure, said hollow bodies being both formed of one of glass or plastic material. 
     
     
       2. A container according to  claim 1 , wherein said edges of said openings form an acute angle at the junction of said edges with an outer surface of said first outer hollow body.
